Building a Roadmap with Gamma Levels and Blind Spots Levels

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to build a comprehensive trading roadmap using gamma levels and blind spots levels to identify key market areas. This approach helped accurately map market movements on CPI day across multiple indices including the NQ, ES, Russell, and Dow Jones.

The roadmap concept is built on three core principles. First, you look for high correlation using blind spots. Second, you identify high concentration areas where gamma levels and blind spots align. Third, you draw your liquid targets, liquid areas, and market shift points based on these concentrations. By combining the blind spots indicator with gamma levels from MenthorQ, you can map out critical liquidity zones that the market respects.

Roadmap Principle Version 1 involves connecting levels with high concentration using the rectangle tool from Trading View. The most important feature is the middle line, which represents the 50% area or equilibrium—similar to Fibonacci levels. You’ll want to enable extended right and extended left settings on the rectangle tool. For example, you might connect Call Resistance to GEX5, or GEX3 to BL4, or GEX1 to Put Support. There’s no strict rule about which levels to connect; you simply look for areas where correlation and concentration align.

To validate your roadmap, switch to the four hour time frame, remove the indicator, and zoom out. You’ll see that the market frequently respects the 50% level, with candle wicks rejecting at this equilibrium point repeatedly. This validation step confirms whether your mapped areas are historically respected by the market. The lesson also introduces Roadmap Principle Version 2, which uses the Fibonacci tool for even more accurate mapping, making the approach easier and more precise.

Foreign.

[00:00:10.05] - Speaker 1
Good afternoon.

[00:00:13.18] - Speaker 1
Welcome. Welcome. I want to record something for the Premium Academy to give an basic overview. What is the roadmap, how we draw the roadmap, what tools we have for the roadmap and all the stuff. So we go also over the Fibonacci.

[00:00:30.08] - Speaker 1
This will BE I think 90 minutes, something like this. But the recording will for the premium Academy. So. But we're going through everything, how this works and I think this would be really cool. And yeah.

[00:00:45.21] - Speaker 1
So Dean and Sean, you be on the panel. So you can ask any questions if I explain something too difficult or you have three questions you can ask anytime. You don't need to rise the handshot, only unmote yourself. Everything is cool. Sean, Dean and okay, so I would say let's start.

[00:01:10.17] - Speaker 1
So before we start, take the time for the risk declaimer, read this, understand this, and then we will start.

[00:01:25.14] - Speaker 1
All right. Okay. So first things first. Before we start, I will show you how the roadmaps from today was working. Today was CPI day, how the roadmaps was working out at the end of the day.

[00:01:42.15] - Speaker 1
So this is the nq. I would say we was doing a really nice job. It was, it was working perfect. If you look into the Es, what we're doing also a great job. 100% we was doing a great job also here on the.

[00:01:58.10] - Speaker 1
On the es. Let's look to the Russell. Was we making a great job on the Russell with our roadmap? Yes, I think also was we doing a great job on. On good with our roadmap?

[00:02:14.11] - Speaker 1
Yes, I think it was working perfect.

[00:02:18.27] - Speaker 1
Was we doing a great job? Yep. If we see here, we came down all the time was mapping this out with our roadmap. And of course let's look into the Dow Jones was making a great job also on the D.O. jones 100%.

[00:02:37.07] - Speaker 1
He was making a great job. But what is the concept of the roadmap? So before we start, let's take out all the drawings so that we can draw this again. So what is the concept of the roadmap? So the.

[00:02:55.08] - Speaker 1
The concept of the roadmap is based on three things. First, we looking for high correlation. Therefore we have our blind spots. They deliver us the correlation. Second, we're looking for high concentration for areas where the gamma levels from basically let's say the NQ and the blind spots in a high spots to map this out.

[00:03:23.14] - Speaker 1
And the second we're drawing based on this our liquid targets, liquid areas, our market shift points. You can call it whatever you want, but that's the three principles so and if we take on now our indicator so what we can basically see we see first our blind spots. So the blind spots delivering us high correlation and we see the gamma levels from men to Q together with the blind spots we getting high concentration. And we're looking for these areas to map out our liquidity area. And this is something what we technical doing with the roadmap and that's the roadmap principle.

[00:04:10.29] - Speaker 1
We have two visions of the roadmap vision. Number one is we looking only for areas where we can connect together. We're using the tree angle tool from trading view. I will double click into this that you can see that's the rectangle and one setting of the rectangle is for the roadmap where we very important and that's the middle line. The middle line is our 50% area.

[00:04:42.17] - Speaker 1
The 50% area give us the information like the Fibonacci where we have the equilibrium. So then also I would say to you make it extended right and extended left and again it's the rectangle. It's a basic tool from trading view everyone has this. All right, all right, so let's come back to the Roadman Principe version one. So what we was doing in the version one we connect the levels where we have high concentration.

[00:05:17.16] - Speaker 1
Here we have also high concentration. We can connect call resistance to GEX5 then we have here high concentration between GEX3 and BL4 we connect this together. Then we have here from GEX1 to put support. We connect this together and I think that's good for now only for example let's go also for GEX 44 to BL5 we connect this together and what you connect, if you connect for example the one day max to GEX 2 there's no rule what you can connect. The only rule based on the roadmap princip is we're looking for high correlation blind spots delivering us this.

[00:06:10.20] - Speaker 1
We're looking for high concentration. This is what we mapping out and then we build based on this our targets. If you be right with your roadmap you can see this very easy and in a simple step take out the indicator go to a higher time frame. I will say to you use the four hour time frame. If you use the four hour time frame then you can zoom out and then you can see if what you was mapping out based on the roadmap principle if this was respected before and now we came to the 50% area.

[00:06:53.21] - Speaker 1
Why is this so important? We see here that the candle wick was rejecting on the 50% level. Also here was rejected on the 50% level. You can see it here, you can see it many, many times. Also here that the 50% level is very often respected from the market.

[00:07:23.07] - Speaker 1
And this is something why I tell you make the 50% level on it's the middle line from the retangle. As I was showing you before, it's very important. But looking back, we go to the four hour time frame was the stuff was reward mapping out was disrespected from the market. Yes, it looks very good on a four hour time frame. So basically we're going back to the five minute time frame.

[00:07:52.13] - Speaker 1
We zoom out and here we go. This is the roadmap PRINCIP version 1.

[00:08:01.28] - Speaker 1
So I like this, this was the things what we was doing on the version one, like to make it easy to connect the levels together. This was version one. But after this I will say to myself, the roadmap, what we was mapping out here on the NQ on version one, it's not highly accurated. So we see here we was not capturing this candle. Yeah, we was capturing this.

[00:08:30.25] - Speaker 1
We was basically having here our range. So we was doing a really great show. But there's always a better way how you can do it. And this is why I was telling you in the 6am Morning club using the Fibonacci, because based on the Fibonacci I was developing the roadmap PRINCIP version 2. And now the part came into the trader's mind where it can be become complicated.

[00:09:04.19] - Speaker 1
But everyone who knows me, they know exactly I'm not doing complicated stuff. I make it as easy as possible. But you champs, you make it, you make it so complicated. And now I will, I will show you that this is really easy and simple.
